Biking and Walking

Bike Edmonds ferry

The City of Edmonds supports walking and biking as safe, healthy and attractive alternatives to driving. In order to make biking and walking easier, the City updates the Transportation Plan every six to seven years, called the Transportation Plan Update - last completed December 2024.

The plan identifies stretches with existing pedestrians and bicycle facilities as well as proposed projects (map). that help guarantee safer future non-motorized transportation conditions. All proposed projects in the plan were evaluated based on a set of criteria - equity, safety, proximity to activity centers and other key locations, and capacity / applicable to roadway projects only (link to p. 48).
